scope: company
summary: Kwest operated independently from its founding in Berlin until its 2024 acquisition by
  Kraken Technologies, the technology arm of Octopus Energy Group. The product was absorbed into
  the Kraken stack, the company website was retired, and the getkwest.com domain has since lapsed
  out of Kwest's control. Kwest never published a public API, developer portal, SDK or
  documentation surface, so no API artifacts are derivable for this provider.

  acquirer: Kraken Technologies
  acquirer_parent: Octopus Energy Group

    getkwest.com (400 archived URLs reviewed). The only integration surface was a marketing
    integrations directory of prebuilt connectors, not a developer API.

  evidence:
  - Live HTTPS request to getkwest.com completes a TLS handshake behind Cloudflare but returns no
    HTTP response (curl exit, http=000).
  - Archived snapshot 2026-03-05 of getkwest.com serves unrelated third-party content, confirming
    the domain is no longer controlled by Kwest.
  warning: Do not link getkwest.com as the company website; the domain now serves unrelated
    third-party content.
